More Puddles and Gardening

Well after last week this week has been a bit quieter. Bear has been a bit 'out of sorts'. He's not been ill, just not his usual bubbly self. At playgroup he sat back and didn't join in the songs. He was happier sat with Grandad or me.

He is happiest playing outside and although it's been dryer it's also been really cold. Lots of gorgeous sunrises and frosty days. Bear doesn't feel the cold. He just like playing with water and helping Grandad in the garden.

On Thursday Bear wouldn't have a morning nap so Grandad took him shopping. They went for milk but came back with a huge truck! I made Bear cheese on toast for his morning snack but just knew he wouldn't want to sit in his highchair to eat it when he had a new toy to play with so I cut it into little bits that I could feed him on the move. I thought I'd try sitting him on a chair at the table, fully expecting him to want to get down straight away but he sat there so good and ate his toast.

I did some with jam too but he left those. Bear doesn't like jam.

Listening to Great Grandad on the answer phone

What's new with Bear this week?

Nothing specific but understanding loads, gibbering away and saying "Georgie, Georgie, Geordie, Geordie" I think he likes the sound, oh and Grandad repeats it to him so he just says it back.

He's really trying to talk. Before he would point and grunt or make any sort of noise, now he's trying to say the correct word. When he does it it is possible to understand him although the words alone wouldn't make much sense.

Lots of places had some snow this week but not us in Cardiff. I'll leave you with a picture from my kitchen window on a frosty morning this week.

aww we had a brief slither of snow and then nothing! not long now until he starts to get the right words! all of a sudden it would just happen (it took us completely by suprised and ours acted like they had been saying these words the whole time ) haha good old grandad :)
